A little Eastern Shore tradition with some Hawk Pride! 🦀❤️

UMES was proud to be part of the 49th Annual J. Millard Tawes Crab & Clam Bake! From connecting with the community at our UMES tent to President Anderson catching up with Governor Wes Moore, it was a great day celebrating all things Eastern Shore!

Of course, Dr. Anderson couldn't let the Governor leave without some UMES swag and sharing the exciting news about our historic U.S. News & World Report rankings!✨

Big congratulations to our Hawk, Emma Koech! ♥️

Emma, a junior accounting major at UMES, was awarded a $2,000 scholarship from Breakthru Beverage Group while attending the TMCF Leadership Institute in Washington, D.C.!

Emma joined fellow UMES students at the institute for an opportunity to connect, learn and grow alongside emerging leaders from across the country. She received the scholarship during a Lunch-and-Learn session sponsored by Breakthru Beverage Group.

Congratulations to Emma on this well-deserved achievement, and to all of our Hawks who represented UMES at this year’s Leadership Institute!! ✨
